At least CTD is making a market.
If you don't like their prices...don't buy.
In the end, a thing is worth what people are willing to pay for it.
I have bought from CTD when I thought I needed that ammo despite the high prices...and I was glad to get it.
Complaining about ammo prices is like complaining about a rising stock market.
I know you aren't a communist, so lay off the commie lingo.
Free markets are not fixed as to price. They fluctuate with supply and demand.
Good post Rooster. I totally agree with you.
The ammo shortage is being created by gougers. They buy up all the stock and sale it huge mark up. Free market or not, it’s shady and I won’t buy from them. I hope the market recognizes it and punishes them.
What Rooster said. If you want prices to stabilize, STOP BUYING! Unless you have a dire immediate need, don’t buy ammo for a while. It’s US who are driving up prices by depleting stocks. Simple economics.

We haven’t seen the volume business model or business approvals of competition for decades. When the craze stops and dries up sales, instead of lowering prices, they’ll cut production. Lumber is a good contemporary example. And as for most big business interests, they’re now government-linked commies, sucking up to their politically correct relatives in government and academia. Look at the political candidates they allow in their “gatekeeping” now: socialist trash, all. I worked contract jobs in offices of many companies during the ‘90s and only saw the politics of social and fiscal leftism in those places. Some of the “chairpersons” were even foreigners hostile toward Americans and especially hostile to men.
